His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Aaron and Zach worked together?

How on earth could these two, who seemingly had nothing in common, have financial dealings?

Dillon had a few theories.

"Maybe Zach has some side hustle and teamed up with Aaron on the down-low. Or maybe they're working together on something, trading favors for mutual benefits."

Given the small amount of money involved, it couldn't be a major business deal.

Could rivals collaborate? It didn't make sense.
